You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Job 18:11
11 Terrors [ballahah] shall make him
afraid [ba`ath] on every side [cabiyb], and shall drive [puwts]
him to his feet [regel]. KJV-Interlinear
11 'All around terrors frighten
him, And harry him at every step. NASB
The life of those who ignore their spiritual life,
whether unbelievers or negative believers, is a life of constant pressure and
problems. Frustration and stress pursue
them continuously.
The terrors of this world not only include the
paranoia's and the real fears of daily life, but they include the constant and seemingly
endless trouble that are always there.
Things break.
Things don't work. Things don't
function as we would like them to.
Life's days see one problem being replaced or followed by yet another
problem.
Rest just doesn't seem to be on the days to-do list.
Prov. 28:1
The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, NASB
And yet regardless of the constant problems that
harass us in our lives, they really do not amount to much. The negative person just magnifies them into
mountains against which he thinks he must fight. He places the pressures on himself.
The negative person will make his problems, regardless
of their size, into things that need immediate attention, even to the point of
setting aside even more important issues that might place himself and others in
jeopardy.
His fears include anger and frustration. And remember, the negative person runs right
into his own trouble, by being negative toward God, toward Christ, and toward
his spiritual life.
His constant sequence of problems through life,
generate frustration and anger, and then a lashing out at anyone or anything. Yelling, intimidation, even crying for momma
are typical emotional reactions.
Negative volition toward God, toward Christ, toward
truth and all of the principles that accompany truth, drive the individual into
the predicaments he finds himself.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
